Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
ADA futures open interest fell to $475.58 million from $549.14 million, reflecting reduced derivatives exposure.<\/span><\/li>\n
Positive funding shows a modest bullish tilt among perpetual traders, leaving longs vulnerable if prices fall further.<\/span><\/li>\n
ADA remains below key moving averages, with $0.1894 emerging as a potential downside target.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cardano Stabilizes After Sharp Weekly Decline<\/h2>\n
Cardano held above $0.2200 on Monday as buyers attempted to steady the price following a roughly 12% decline last week.<\/span><\/p>\n
ADA has lost more than 10% so far in October, while weakening derivatives activity and subdued large-wallet positioning suggest limited conviction behind a recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n
The daily chart also remains under pressure after last week\u2019s break below trendline support near $0.2321. With the token trading beneath its key moving averages, sellers retain the near-term advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n
CoinGlass data<\/span> shows that Cardano futures open interest declined to $465.87 million on Monday from $549.14 million last week.<\/span><\/p>\n
That represents a reduction of approximately 14.5% in the notional value of outstanding contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n
The decline suggests reduced derivatives exposure, though it does not prove that retail traders alone are leaving the market. Falling ADA prices can reduce dollar-denominated open interest, while position closures and liquidations can also contribute.<\/span><\/p>\n
The funding rate remained positive at 0.0032%, indicating that long positions were paying shorts in the tracked perpetual market.<\/span><\/p>\n
That modest positive reading suggests some traders are still positioned for a rebound. However, funding alone does not demonstrate excessive leverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
A further price decline could nevertheless put vulnerable long positions under pressure and trigger additional forced selling.<\/span><\/p>\n
Onchain figures suggest large holders have made only modest adjustments to their exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n
According to Santiment data, wallets holding more than 100 million ADA accounted for 15.99% of circulating supply, slightly higher than 15.95% last week.<\/span><\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the cohort holding between 10 million and 100 million ADA represented 38.11% of supply, down from 38.27%.<\/span><\/p>\n
The opposing movements provide a mixed picture rather than a clear accumulation trend. They also do not, by themselves, establish whether tokens were sold, transferred between wallets or moved across holding categories.<\/span><\/p>\n
Combined with lower futures exposure, the figures offer limited evidence of renewed buying conviction.<\/span><\/p>\n
Cardano\u2019s technical outlook remains bearish<\/h2>\n
ADA continues to trade beneath its 50-day Exponential Moving Average near $0.2290 and its 200-day EMA around $0.2395.<\/span><\/p>\n
The loss of trendline support near $0.2321 adds to the weak structure, leaving several barriers above the current price.<\/span><\/p>\n
Momentum indicators reinforce the bearish bias. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator remains below zero with a negative histogram, while the Relative Strength Index hovers around 41.<\/span><\/p>\n
The RSI reading suggests sellers retain the upper hand, although ADA has not reached the conventional oversold threshold of 30.<\/span><\/p>\n
Without a recovery through nearby resistance, the latest stabilization remains a pause within the correction rather than confirmation of a trend reversal.<\/span><\/p>\n
The psychological $0.20 level is an immediate downside reference if selling resumes. Below it, the August 30 low near $0.1894 represents the next structural support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A move toward that level would be about 14%\u201315% downside from the current price area.<\/span><\/p>\n
On the upside, buyers first need to challenge the 50-day EMA at $0.2290. The former trendline support near $0.2321 then presents another obstacle, followed by the 200-day EMA at $0.2395.<\/span><\/p>\n
A sustained recovery through those levels would help weaken the bearish setup. Until then, Cardano remains exposed to further losses as traders assess whether demand can strengthen around $0.2200.<\/span><\/p>\n
